Lava Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Convenient location in downtown Edmonds! Was clean, easy, and comfortable. I will be back for another pedicure soon. Thank you!

I drove to this place for 60mins. There were no parking lot so I parked on the street far away from this shop and I had walked for 15mins and it was freezing outside. I spent $120 for 6D but it didn't look like a full set and no volume this time So I prefer Russian volume $150. I had tried 7 shops for lash extensions so far. It usually takes for 60 mins but I had stayed here for 90mins cause she made me wait for 4 times. Suddenly she came outside 4 times while she was doing.Anyway extra 30mins made I had canceled my important scheduled cause She made my next appointment was late. Moreover it was so painful when she tried to clean my eyes even though it was not a make up. Why she didn't ask me first ?? It was such a rude and ignorant. I wish it would be improved for customers in future. read more

Tina is wonderful and pays attention to detail! Her mother in law also works with her and gives amazing services as well. I would highly recommend them. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place!! 1. Way too overpriced! 2. Lady who was doing my nails was very rude! 3. It's been only 4 days and my nails look terrible, she didn't even remove my cuticles. Just a waste of money!! I will never come back!! read more

I've been coming to this place for a very long time I have not had a bad experience I have a "frequent flyer" card today I was excited about the fact that I would finally get a free pedicure and she's proceeds to tell me that my card is no longer valid, keep in mind there's no valid info on the card, she wouldn't honor it even though the last time it was punched was February of this year! She pointed to her new cards they look exactly the same with a few differences, tried to give me a new card. When I told her what she was doing was wrong it didn't seem to bother her and when I told her I was never coming back that didn't seem to bother her either! She has a lot of competition I have no problem going any place else! What a rip off! Bait and switch! Stay away, not honest! read more

I have been going to Kara for years to have my nails done and I have never been unhappy. The employees that Kara hires are always very kind and good at their job. I really can't say enough nice things about this business. This may not be the least expensive place to go, but you get what you pay for and you receive good service here. Also, they are very punctual with their scheduling and allow just the right amount of time to serve their individual customers need. Before my mother passed away, I took her there too and was so pleased with the way she was treated. The girls who work for Kara were beyond patient and kind to my mother. When the doctor wanted to permanently remove my mom's thumbnail, Kara suggested that we leave it telling us that it would eventually recover and grow back. It did just that! read more

They do a meticulous and great job here. Very friendly staff and they have been great with my four year old who likes getting her nails done too. They only charged 5 for my daughters nails and I paid 12. This is a very inexpensive and quality place to get your mani/pedi! read more

Lava Nails - My little ones nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Went today for a pedicure, opted for the honey pedicure at a cost of $37. The gal was good with everything except I have a callus on the side of my toe which most places file down - she didn't touch it. I left with it more ragged than when I went in. For that reason I will not be back. If you have no issues with your feet, this place is fine read more

got gel nails done and it was done fairly quickly despite having multiple layers done. Kara did my nails and she was very meticulous and made sure to remove any stray nail pieces. some people say the decorations are bare but I think it is very clean and cute, lots of flowers/floral designs. Overall very satisfied!! read more

Lava Nails - gel nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

This is a great nail place on Main Street! The owner was very nice and did a great job. The manicure was $12 including tax. She was very careful. I'm on day 5 and they still look decent which is great for a normal manicure (not shellac). I can't quite give them 5 stars because the setting is pretty bare bones but the service they offer is good quality! read more

I'm a person who would never let anyone touch my nails besides myself. I can do a better job since I take my time doing it and most nail salons tries to get you done ASAP so they can take another client. But what can you do when you chip a nail while driving to work? Kara Nail's is right across the street so why not? Nice, clean and bright shop and greeted immediately. All I Wanted was a color change. French tip please! I had dark purple nails before and she took the time to make sure that all of the polish was gone. She did the french tip a little different than other nail techs but it came out a lot better. Instead of using polish and then cleaning up the line, she just drew on the tips! But she did put on base coat before to make sure it sticks. Then goes some OPI sheer pink and then the HK girl pink. Then the top coat. Watching her put on so many layers on my nails at first got me worried. But I was so wrong. The polish lasted about 2 weeks! And I'm a person who washes my hands at least 15 times a day. So if your ever in the area... you should give them a try! read more

My toes looked pretty, but the way she exfoliated my feet seemed to make my feet more dry and peely---- oppsite reason I go in for a pedi!!! Nancy's nails in downtown edmonds on 5th ave is MUCH better!! I won't be going back read more

Id like to start by saying i have never given a review on anything with less than 3 stars. My experience here was just that bad. I was quoted 10 dollars for a color change and file down. When i left they charged me 20. I was told it was due to having acrylics which is more work to file down. I was already in the shop when they said 10. I paid because im not the obnoxious argumentative type. I simply will not go again. Also i wanted my nails file sharper/pointed tip. Barely shorter. They made my nails tiny to the point of shaving off some of my real nails. It wasnt pointed more rounded than anything. I was afraid to ask for more pointed/sharper because they already made them so short. The polish chipped the next day. They didnt clean up the filings from under my nails. It looked dirty and i could still see residue from the prior polish even after they painted my nails. From the time i was in the chsir getting my nails done till the time she finished was 45 minutes. So slow. (Single color polish no design) Never going back. She burned me while filing twice. read more

Great place for a pedicure! Close to everything, located on Main Street. After a long day on my feet I was looking for a relaxing pedicure. I walked in and they were able to see me within 45 minutes (just enough time to enjoy the local stores). Very friendly staff. I had the green tea pedicure. Very nice! Loved the massage with the hot stones! I will definitely return. read more

I really want to support the edmonds community and businesses but I keep being disappointed by them. Kara Nail was especially disappointing. I normally get pedis pretty regularly, but with the craziness of life I haven't had one in over 6 months. So I very excited, and in need of a treat for my feet! Unfortunately despite only having one other customer (who got 2x as long of massage than me-) they rushed through everything and didn't spend muchh time on my feet. Plus they charge 25$ rather Than the typical 15-20$. So I toped 5$ even though it was awful- so I walked out spending $30... I could have done a much better job myself- and put that money towards a new piece of clothing or dinner... I Will not be going back.... read more

Nice place, clean and comfortable. Definitely does not feel as sparse or as cold as most quickie nail salons do. Came in as a walk in for manicure/pedicure and was immediately brought back. Staff is friendly, dressed professionally, and do a great job. Highly recommend. read more

Gena was so kind and detailed with her nail work and great to talk to! Kara is an amazing artist with her designs. I got a mani pedi for 48$. They do great work! They are so kind! I had a great experience. Kim is kind too! read more

went on Christmas Eve and got a Shellac Manicure and it lasted 2 days. NOT HAPPY! No wonder they had openings on Christmas Eve! What a WASTE of MONEY!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Awful. Went here based off of a coworker telling me they were good just wanted one nail fixed ended up getting a full. Within 4 days 3 nails had broken off because she did a half a** job and did the powder way too thin after I asked to make it a little thicker. When I asked for a refund she made excuses about how I should have only gotten a new set. I've been having my nails done for decades I definitely smell bs. Keep my $40 you'll need it! read more

I've been here several times now and haven't had anything less than a great experience. I've tried most of the other salons in town and have decided this is my nail salon going forward. I like the copper tubs, the friendly staff and the long-lasting pedicure. read more

They do a good job on nails and pedicures. However, I don't much appreciate the service. The employee speak loudly among themselves during the service, which is very annoying, in my opinion. When I have the time to get a pedicure, I would like some peace and quiet. Also, they let clients speak loudly on cellphones. Please!!! read more

Horrible. She cut my foot, then pressed it with alcohol about 10 times which actually hurt. All the other employees came over and they talked about it but not to me and I couldn't understand them. Then I got the worst manicure I've ever had. She couldn't do it without smudging the nails so another girl took over. Then I got quick dried but they didn't turn on the heat so they didn't dry. But that was OK because they took me outside to spray something on my nails (I think it was hairspray) which was supposed to do the trick. I left and went to another salon and had them fix my nails. NEVER AGAIN...DON'T GO THERE...THEY ARE SO RUDE. read more

To kill time while my fiancé was in a business meeting, I decided to drop in to receive a shellac manicure. They promptly sat me with a younger girl who did an excellent job on my nails. The experience itself was very short, I was in and out in a matter of 20 minutes. Overall was a good manicure, the price was a little more than what I am used to. ($35 before tip). read more

Outstanding - Kara provides fantastic eyelash extensions. I could not recommend her highly enough.

My daughter and I did a walk-in service. I felt a bit rushed by the gal who did mine. I think her cell was more important. But the gal who worked on my daughter took her time. My daughter's nails turned out beautiful! read more

Love this place, I am a regular. They are friendly, attentive, very clean and hygienic, relaxed atmosphere. Great service. Large array of nail polish colors to pick from. Will continue to come here for sure. Great job ladies and thank you. read more

I was here in town visiting and after 3 months on a boat I really need it a mani and pedi. On the window they advertised gel polish ( I like that because last long when your traveling), so I went in. They do take walk in, very nice girls. She did a really good job with the pedi until it was time for the gel polish. They do gel polish in manicures but not on pedi, I ask why, they didn't have an answer. Just they don't do it. Mani and pedi with gel polish only hands $80.00. But my toes and hands are happy. read more

Ok. It seems that not many recent reivews have been updated, so I am doing with one positive vote. I am having my eyelashes done from this shop and today was my second time. By far, it's one of the best eyelash service that I had. First, the owner is really working hard in detail. And my first lashes did not get off for more than 3 weeks. It was a miracle. And I went for a touch-up although my lashes were not off much. It was quick and professional as well as detalied-work. I also got a frech manicure and eyebrow waxing. I usually don't like french manicure with erasing after putting on polish; I like painting at once. They DID exactly what I like and it was gorgeous!! Eye brow waxing is also decent and quick. Finally the atmosphere is clean, simple but elegant. This is a personal taste (minor point) but I like polishes on the wall are all with similar color; look elegant, not messy. They had a simple but good and welcoming atmosphere. This is a little far away from my place but I don't mind driving 25 mins to get my lashes done and manicure! :D read more

Before sorority recruitment this year I went in to get acrylic nails put on. Once in there the lady tried to get it done as quickly as possible and got annoyed when I asked them to cut my nails shorter. Additionally they didnt trim my cuticles or file my nails. They glued on the tips and instead of doing it like usual they just kept putting on more glue and one layer of top coat. Although it looked nice the NEXT day I was driving to school and two of my nails fell of completely. They did a horrible job. I payed $40 for a manicure that didn't even last 24 hours. Will never be going back to Kara Nails. read more

It's been 3 days since my daughter's and I had our mani/pedis and almost all of their nail polish is gone. I realize they are 8 years olds and nail polish won't last long on them, but one of my daughter's was completely chipped by the NEXT DAY. I think the lady forgot to put a top coat on. I would have gone back to ask them to fix it, but when we were leaving, I asked for the foam flip flops so our pedis wouldn't get ruined. The lady who seemed to be in charge shook her head and disappeared in the back, never to be seen again, along with all the other employees (I assume because I had already paid). And wouldn't you know it, my daughter's pedi was ruined when we got home. To make matters worse, the white nail polish on my own nails is becoming discolored. I would have given them less stars, but the women who did the pedicures were very nice and did a good job. I do not recommend this place though. read more

Pitiful Pedicure! I had a friend in from out of town. We spontaneously decided to get a pedicure. We walked in and asked if they could get us both in at the same time. They said yes and seated us but there was only one nail tech available so I sat for 15 and watched my friend and the 2nd nail tech finish someone else. Finally my turn came and I was rushed thru as two more customers came in. My pedicure was over in 15- 20 minutes. My toenails were cut too short and I felt as if I had sat with my feet in warm bubbly water and gotten them painted. Not wanting to ruin our day, we threw our hands in the air! Later we laughed that my friend had only one of her calves massaged and the heals of my feet felt more rough than when I came in. There are just to many good nail salons in Edmonds to choose this one : ( read more

Worst pedicure in years. I had to get a second one the next day to fix it. Waste of money and time and frustrating too. It was basically a $25.00 polish change. read more

I just got the worst pedicure in my life at Kara's Nails. I visit my sister-in-law and her family several times a year and one of our traditions is to get pedicures together. We decided on this place because it was the only salon that could take us as walk-ins, the other places we had stopped by that afternoon were too crowded. This should have been a sign! We were the only two customers in the store, but it felt like they just rushed right through us. The entire $25 "spa" pedicure took about 15 minutes ! None of my calluses were sanded off, the lady was harsh on our nails and feet, my sister-in-law's chair was broken and worst of all, the ladies frowned the entire time they were working on our feet!!! We will NEVER return here! You can get a better pedicure for less elsewhere by someone who will at least smile at you! read more

The lady told me I was too pale for the color I chose for my feet and forced me to change the color to a shade that would "show up", talked about me to her friend in Vietnamese (I only knew this cause she kept gesturing at me), and told me I had to wait 5 hours to put closed toed shoes back on.... This Seattle, Washington where it's 30 degrees. Confused to why a nail salon in a cold, and very wet location would discourage customers to put their shoes back on. I had to sneakily slip my shoes on after getting at least two blocks away. I am not from the area but I will not be returning. Most terrifying nail experience j have had. read more

This place needs lessons on customer service. I went there for a pedicure and manicure to pamper myself and to relax. I was rushed and even when I mentioned that feeling to Grace, it continued. No conversation and I was pointed to wherever it was, she wanted me to go. Exfoliation? Seems it could have been skipped entirely, as I felt it was just another motion without feeling it or noticing results. The owner was right there when I mentioned being rushed and she pretended to not want to hear. I noticed smirks shared by her and Grace. How unprofessional! I Work Downtown Edmonds and get frequently asked where a good place is to have nail care. I will NEVER recommend Kara Nails. read more

This was my first visit to this shop and I will never go back. While the girl took the time to give me a nice massage, she didn't do a good job cleaning up the dirt under my nails or trimming my cuticles and they were still rough at the end of the pedicure, and you could still see dirt under my nails when they started to apply the polish. I was willing to overlook this, however, once the polish was applied and started to dry, cracks in the polish finish started to appear. They did take off the polish and start over, but the same problem developed to a lesser extent the second time. Their solution was to apply more polish, but this only made the nails more tacky and slow to dry. Then, only an hour after the pedicure the polish slide off one nail entirely. When I returned to show them, they told me that I had put on sandals too quickly and hadn't allowed 2 hours drying time! While they did take $10 off the cost of the service, I felt that they shouldn't have charged me at all, and certainly that they should have refunded the cost of the service once the polish peeled off completely. read more
